    Italian sub
    Lori K.

    Modernized historic building with a large stage for live music/ open mic night- two bars. The largest TV I've ever seen behind the stage. Thecwaitress told us they bring in Nashville muscians;some that are starting out. The food was amazing! Theur menu is small but poserful. They are connected to Pioneer Pizza who makes theur subs and pizzas plus they smoke their meats on site snd had 3 house sauces on the table. I had the smoked wings. Naked but rubbed with a dry seasoning. The wings fell off the bone and were so flavorable! No sauce was needed. But I tried the three table sauces. Hubs had an italian sub. Heand I agreed it was provably the best italian sub we"ve ever had. I ordered the Grainery salad - it was great because I like Blue Cheese ceuymbles and red onion. Both flavors were strong so avoid it you are not a fan. I ordered the large and feel it was the equivilant of a side salad-kinda small. The Grainery attracted groups if friends, families with yound children and couples out fir a dare night. Highly recommend! Our server was great. I try not to ask "what is your favorite menu item"? Instead ask what is poplular. Our server had a real passion for the food, the history of the building and the Plain City community. When our meal was over, she directed us to the complimentary soft service ice cream with toppings. Great way to enjoy a touch of sweet after the savory meal! We will return!

    Grainery Wrap and Mac and Cheese

    Located in downtown Plain City the Grainery is a restaurant and bar that we recently discovered while looking for homes in the area. Atmosphere is open, clean and well spaced, not trying to cram a bunch of tables in. Food was excellent, I ordered the Grainery wrap with Mac and cheese. Stuffed with plenty of smoked chicken, M&C was Incredibly smooth and rich. Wife got the grilled club sandwich with wedges, also very good. If you're in the area it's well worth a try!

    Terrible Quesadilla
    Jen K.

    My review is for food. Do not go here to eat! Horrible and overpriced! My quesadilla was so small, had barely any cheese and the chicken tasted old. They didn't even butter the outside to fry it, so it was dry and hard as a brick. Never again. It comes with what seem like generic bbq chips that our server said were homemade. If those are homemade...ughh. I would give it 1-2 stars. Service was slow and nothing happened, but they certainly could use training on customer service. If you go, only go for drinks and live music. I would say 4-5 stars for that. Not a food fan. Likely a fun place for drinks and music.

    Had high hopes this would be good bbq. It was bland & dry. The coleslaw was too sweet, I couldn't eat it. The service was fine.

    Yummy food and friendly service! A manager checked on us after our food arrived. The ice cream machine is a nice bonus.

    It's a basic neighborhood bar. Nothing fancy…read more Basic brew selection. But... There's lots of televisions, a Touch Tunes jukebox, friendly locals hanging out and a couple pull tab / lottery terminals to have some fun with. There's also some really friendly bartenders who are very nice and attentive without being intrusive. All the customers I've seen are really friendly or just keep to themselves. Never had a problem. An added plus is that they have an Ange's Pizza located on premise for some really good eats while you're getting your drink on! 4 stars

    Do not go to this bar if you don't want to smell like you took an oil bath in a deep fryer. A few…read moreyears ago they started serving food, which on the surface sounds great, but they somehow got a waiver to not vent their kitchen so even if you're not sitting near it, you're going to reek. I got home last night and stripped down in front of my washer because every thing I was wearing stunk. Then I had to do the same with my husband's clothes in the morning because they made the laundry room stink since they were in there all night (he got home later than me.) When I got into my car the next morning, I was horrified to discover my car reeked too because the pullover I was wearing was still in there so I had to give my car a Febreze bath, which didn't work because even though I threw my hoodie into the washer before I left, my purse still stunk. I have no idea how the bartenders and regulars put up with this. They must have gone nose blind to the stench years ago. Sidenote: For some reason they removed some of the pool tables and replaced it with a golf game. This always confused me because the pool tables were always used and I never, ever see someone playing this golf game. I just chalked it up to the fact I started going to the bar less and less because I didn't want to smell like a deep fried chicken nugget. Then one night I finally see someone playing the stupid game and it nearly gave me a heart attack. Every time someone hit the golf ball into the screen, it sounds like a gun goes off. It's horrible. The owners have ruined this bar. Take my advice and go to the Mad Cow. Better food, better atmosphere and you'll leave with your clothes and heart intact.
